title: [The application of supravascular laser irradiation of blood for the treatment of cochleovestibular disorders].
abstract: A total of 165 patients presenting with neurosensory impairement of hearing and Meniere's disease were treated by supravascular (extracorporeal) laser irradiation of blood. The study undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of this treatment confirmed its beneficial effect in patients with acute hearing disorders. It was equally effective as regards elimination of labyrinthine hydropsis in patients presenting with Meniere's disease. The method proved less efficacious for the management of long-standing hearing impairement and chronic loss of hearing, but it can be used to prevent the development of these conditions.
